Badass Lego Guns This week we take a look at Martin Hüdepohl's step-by-step guide to creating five Badass Lego Guns. There is a simple, pint-sized rubber band shooting marvel, a nine-brick magazine semi-automatic pistol, a fully-automatic submachine gun and two different types of crossbow pistols.
You can see the guns in action …

Badass ?

Not so.

A bit sad...

I seem to remember (doubtless a quick google would confirm, but I can't be arsed) that the creator of Lego decreed that there should be no weaponry with Lego models. (Which was subsequently watered down to "no present century weaponry", so swords, lightsabres, etc in kits are OK....)

I'm not just saying this as a doogooder, I'm pointing it out because aged 10 or thereabouts I made a Lego crossbow that could fire a rail track about 20 yards, then stupidly checked the mechanism by looking down the "barrel" while forgetting it was loaded... cue trip to A&E, nearly lost sight in one eye, and have been bespectacled since.... I'm sure it's karma or something...

Advertisment?

Much as the Lego Guns are of interest, surely an article on a tech site like El Reg that doesn't even bother going into any detail about how the tech works in getting these lego guns to work should be labelled as an ADVERTISEMENT?

This article was no more than a 'look at this' and 'buy this here' as opposed to an article, so much so that whoever wrote it didn't even have the bottle to stick their name to it it was so bad.

Bricklink

You can buy any brick you can imagine there, and most of 'em are pretty cheap, too. Shipping can be a pain as it's a marketplace with sellers from all over, but if you need something rare and don't want to spend $60 on a whole set to get it, Bricklink is the way to go.

Wicked

I've seen similar creations on LiveLeak.com, but now that a prublication containing the dark secrets is available, I foresee kids and adults alike diving into the Lego box to create weapons of minor destruction

I also believe this could also prolong the life of most Lego collections too :¬)

Cool but awful!

And especially given

Those bricks scaled up would be like your or me being shot at with full sizable chunmks of building. Can only dream of the terror and devastation caused but somone firing a section of rail line at any speed, ouch!
